Gone too soon

Fun show: 2 veterans of podcasting having silly chats about lighthearted a.k.a. “Upworthy” news stories. Will be missed in my weekly rotation.

Tod and Alison for the win

Just love the easy chatter and Tod’s subtle wit and delivery in contrast to Alison’s curiosity and just put it out there style. I have all of the podcasts Alison is a part of and I love all of them. On a side note, her husband Daniel on Alison Rosen is Your New Best Friend sometimes makes side comments (ref W.C. Fields) that just make me burst out laughing. If you’ve just got one Alison Rosen podcast, check out the others, they’re worth it. Lastly Tod, this great podcast wouldn’t be great without you - I love your honest easy dry style. You make me laugh and I love listening to you. Thanks you two for the great entertainment.
